Ole Miss Rebels Underdogs in Athens vs. Georgia Bulldogs
The No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels are two-score underdogs in Athens this Saturday when they travel to face the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs are currently favored by 11 points at home, according to Draft Kings Sportsbook. Both SEC teams are coming off wins on Saturday, Georgia taking down the Missouri Tigers and Ole Miss claiming a last-second win over the Texas A&M Aggies.
The win against Texas A&M came down to the final play, one where Rebel defender Zxavian Harris was able to get a fingertip on a field goal attempt, altering its course and giving Ole Miss a 38-35 win.
“What a really exciting way to finish a game. Exciting,” head coach Lane Kiffin said. “We seemed in command, let it get away, come back to get ahead and get a play at the end. Our guys really played well.”
